Dave, Congratulations for having the cojones to do the right thing! I hired out at Russell....hell, everybody on the CSX system has heard of Russell, Ky! It's a no-place run by a pack of ingrates..one of the trainmasters didn't know how to write! When I left, my road foreman was a man-boy I had taught how to run an engine maybe 5 years before...they like to get them like that...easier to brainwash as they blow that company smoke up their rearends. I was talking to a long time fellow engineer at a resturaunt a few days ago. He said the weed monkeys (officials) were worse than ever. He had just come in and was 4 times out....with 15 in the pool. I confess, I hated every day of it...but job opportunities were slim to none in this neck of the woods and so, I stayed with it. I actually threw my pager in the garbage! I go to bed when I get ready and never again will I hear that 2:20 a.m. phone ring..."Mista Harris, dis be da Crewcalla...got you called ona Q691 fo 4 a.m." Generally, I had just laid down at 11 p.m.! No..hell-no, I don't miss it or feel one bit of remorse for cashing that check from the RR retirement board every month!
